London Spirit vs Oval Invincibles Team Preview
London Spirit
London Spirit had a disastrous first season in the tournament but fared considerably better the following year. They will be hoping to get off to a winning start at home in this match.
Following an improved 2022 season, London Spirit has collected another strong-looking side for The Hundred 2023 season. We expect England Test players Zak Crawley and Mark Wood to miss the opening encounter against the Oval Invincibles.
Oval Invincibles
The Oval Invincibles has a fantastic roster of players for this year’s event, several of whom have been in excellent T20 form across the world this year. We believe Oval Invincibles will win this match.
With no players involved in the Ashes, Sam Billings’ team appears to have a full roster to choose from ahead of this game. Heinrich Klaasen and Adam Zampa are fresh off their participation in the Major League Cricket event.
Dan Lawrence (c), Adam Rossington (wk), Matthew Wade, Ravi Bopara, Jordan Thompson, Liam Dawson, Nathan Ellis, Daryl Mitchell, Chris Wood, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Daniel Worrall
The Hundred Mens Competition 2023 Cricket Prediction | Match 3: London Spirit vs Oval Invincibles
Batting conditions appear to be improving later in the evening, thus we forecast that both captains will prefer to field first in this game.
Heavy rain is expected throughout the first two innings of the game, followed by showers later in the evening. Throughout the game, the temperature will be approximately 18 degrees.
Although the overhead circumstances may favor the bowlers, this appears to be a good batting pitch. A par score will be between 125 and 130.
